If the firearm is recovered outside of the container. I posted a story about this exact thing happening a few weeks ago and the dude involved still got charged and successfully convicted of improper storage.

TL;DR - guy had a LTC and gun was lawfully possessed and registered. Guy got his car stolen while he went into the gas station with the car running. Guy claimed the gun was in a built-in locked container inside the vehicle. Reported the car stolen to the cops and told them about the gun. Cops found the gun outside the locked container. However, they have no idea what the car thief did after the car was stolen. They even acknowledged it on the stand that they can’t prove the car thief didn’t touch the firearm or container. No fingerprint testing was done. Thief did technically have access to the container though because the key for the container was the same one for the ignition, but at the time of the incident the gun was properly secured and cops can’t disprove that. Unfortunately they still lost that case.
How?

That doesnt pass the smell test.
 
On the Chelmsford police FB page they said last night in Chelmsford a Bronco was stolen out of someone's driveway. The Bronco was recovered in Dracut but the car had two firearms stored in a back pack inside. One of the firearms is now missing. The owner was honest with the police and reported everything. Is he screwed?
Hopefully the jeep owner properly advertised with all kinds of gun stickers on the rear window of the jeep 🤣

Got the story from the TikTok account of a criminal defense lawyer I actually previously used for a LTC denial (Joe Simons). Don’t know any more details about the case besides what I’ve already listed. It was a jury trial, for what it’s worth.

I’m sure we all know how anti-gun the vast majority of people in this state are, so it wouldn’t surprise me that the dude ended up being convicted of a gun charge no matter how legally justified he was.
 
A 22 Bronco (I am assume real bronco and not Sport due to him firearm owner) has a couple ways a pro can take them
Issue is a pro is not going to just dump it the next town over
I am betting keys in the car

Also

 
I have a cheap pistol safe similar to this screwed to the floor of my truck.
If, for some reason, I want to leave my carry gun in my truck, I put it in the safe and then toss a sweatshirt or whatever on top of the safe.
It's a cheap one from Stackon, or similar. Its hardly a safe, but it satisfies the law.PDS_1500_RF_Open_7a92f54195.png
 
Another reason Jeep > Bronco.

Hidden safes that bolt in

(Broncos probably have them too but im not searching for it)
